Spencer Butte Park

One of Eugene's best places to go if you want to get outdoors & go for a hike. There are 3 very different trails that lead to the top & all vary in difficulty & length. It's great for singles, couples, groups, & families. Amazing views from the top & it's a very popular place to go & enjoy the beautiful sunset. The trails are well maintained & provide many great sight's along the way up to the summit. There is ample parking & bathrooms where the trails begin.

There are three approaches to this hike. The best is to park at the parking area in the open meadow as you drive down Willamette from downtown. The ascent is easier and in the trees. From the main parking lot, if you take the trail to the left it I really steep. Fun to go that way and come down the back of you want a good burn!

Nice hike, beginning is the steepest, then easy trail, then some rock stairs. My 3 year old has hiked this trail with me multiple times. It's a great family hike! It's pretty busy but once at the top it is gorgeous and tons of rocks to lounge on and take in the beauty while not having to be right next to someone else.
